L’Institut du développement durable et des relations internationales (Iddri), la Fondation d’entreprise Hermès et la Bibliothèque nationale de France ont le plaisir de vous inviter à la conférence
L’innovation au secours de la biodiversité ?
Objectifs de la conférence :
Examiner et évaluer les possibilités et les limites des nouvelles technologies et plus généralement de l’innovation au service de la conservation de la biodiversité. Fournir des éléments de réponse et clés de lecture aux questions suivantes : • Quels risques les innovations font-elles peser sur la biodiversité ? Peut-on piloter ou canaliser ces innovations afin qu’elles entrent en synergie, plutôt qu’en contradiction, avec le maintien de la diversité biologique sur Terre ?
• Comment les innovations technologiques peuvent-elles contribuer à une meilleure surveillance des activités anthropiques qui ont un impact sur la biodiversité ? • Sous quelles formes l’innovation en agriculture permet-elle de remédier à la perte de la biodiversité ? Dans quels cas l’innovation fait-elle peser un risque sur le maintien de l’agrobiodiversité ? • Quelles innovations permettraient d’améliorer notre capacité à restaurer des écosystèmes de plus en plus complexes ? Informations pratiques :
Date et horaires : Vendredi 13 juin 2014, de 8h45 à 16h45 Lieu : Grand auditorium de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (13e) Modalités de participation : entrée libre sur inscription Inscription : en ligne sur le site de l’Iddri Temps forts de la conférence :
La journée sera structurée autour de 3 sessions et laissera une large place aux débats et échanges avec l’audience : • une première session pour aborder la question de l’innovation technologique et de son rôle dans la gestion des écosystèmes, au cours de laquelle les interventions d’experts issus de diverses disciplines seront mises en débat par un discutant ; • une table ronde consacrée aux enjeux de l’innovation en agriculture et ses effets sur la conservation de la biodiversité, réunissant des représentants du secteur privé, de la recherche et d’ONG ; • une dernière session pour faire le point sur les possibilités technologiques actuellement disponibles dans le domaine de la restauration écologique. Les intervenants présenteront les innovations dans ce secteur, mais aussi les limites et risques de ces projets de restauration écologique. Intervenants confirmés :
Émilie Babut (ministère de l’Écologie, du Développement durable et de l’Énergie – MEDDE), Sandra Brooke (université d’État de Floride), Crystal Davis (World Resources Institute), Émile Frison (Bioversity International), David Higgins (Interpol), Pete Lowry (Missouri Botanical Garden), François Meienberg (Déclaration de Berne [DB]), Macy Merriman (DuPont Pioneer), Fabien Quetier (Biotope), John Tanzer (WWF International), Frédéric Thomas (IRD). |

The Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI), the Hermès Foundation and the National Library of France are pleased to invite you to the conference on:
Saving biodiversity: is innovation the cure?
Conference objectives:
To review and assess the possibilities and limitations of new technologies and more generally innovation for the conservation of biodiversity.
To provide some insights and tools to help with the understanding of the following issues:
To review and assess the possibilities and limitations of new technologies and more generally innovation for the conservation of biodiversity.
To provide some insights and tools to help with the understanding of the following issues:
• What risks does innovation pose to biodiversity? Can we control or channel innovations so that there is synergy rather than conflict to enable the maintenance of Earth’s biodiversity?
• How can technological innovations contribute to a better monitoring of human activities that have an impact on biodiversity?
• What forms of agricultural innovation will enable the loss of biodiversity to be addressed? In which cases does innovation pose a risk to the maintenance of agro-biodiversity?
• What innovations would enable the improvement of our ability to restore increasingly complex ecosystems?
• How can technological innovations contribute to a better monitoring of human activities that have an impact on biodiversity?
• What forms of agricultural innovation will enable the loss of biodiversity to be addressed? In which cases does innovation pose a risk to the maintenance of agro-biodiversity?

Conference highlights:
The day will be structured around three sessions, leaving plenty of time for discussions and exchanges with the audience:
• the first session will address the issue of technological innovation and its role in ecosystem management, during which expert interventions from diverse fields will be introduced into the discussion by a moderator;
• a roundtable will be dedicated to the issue of agricultural innovation and its effects on biodiversity conservation, bringing together representatives of the private sector, research and NGOs;
• the final session will review the technological opportunities that are currently available in the field of ecological restoration. The speakers will present innovations in this sector, and also describe the limitations and risks of these ecological restoration projects.
